This could have nothing to do with your plugin but I’m just trying at this point ….

Trying to narrow down a bug causing images to not show in the gallery. BeaverThemer slack channel suggested that maybe it could have something to do with the Pods Beaver Themer Add-On – Here is a video that shows the problem. Sidenote I was able to update the Beaver Themer since making this video and it’s still acting up. https://www.loom.com/share/48ba8dedc43f4ecba50859f21a705c2e

On https://camelottheatre.org/show/anything-goes/2024-07-21/ in the Tab for Meet the Cast I have a saved global row that would show Cast Members (Pods CPT) assigned to the event. A Pods relationship was created for this in the Pods for The Events Calendar and the CPT. This has been working fine for years, but no longer. The event is a TEC Series. We see this in the logs

[proxy_fcgi:error, [pid 5644:tid 139911067444992, [client 66.241.72.139:0, AH01071: Got error 'PHP message: PHP Warning: Undefined property: stdClass::$field in /wp-content/plugins/pods-beaver-builder-themer-add-on/pods-beaver-themer.php on line 306', referer: https://camelottheatre.org/fl-theme-layout/events-singular/?fl_builder&r=aHR0cHM6Ly9jYW1lbG90dGhlYXRyZS5vcmcvc2hvdy9hbnl0aGluZy1nb2VzLzIwMjQtMDctMjEv&fl_builder_ui_ifr)

I added a custom settings page with Pods

I added a street address field

I want to output this in two places

1. In a text box – works fine
2. In the BB Map module – Pulls through surrounding tags which spill into the label box of the map.

How can this be avoided?

Some of the options I think resolved this but it means the address in the first location (text box) ends up on all one line as the auto <br> are removed.

Please advise.

Thanks

Hi,

I have a somewhat complex setup for a page, but it seems to have uncovered a performance issue. I’m not sure that it is PODS / PODS Themer related, but it seems to be.

The Setup

1. I have a PODS CPT defined, with a custom field (called primary image) to hold an uploaded image.
2. A Beaver Themer singular page layout is created to display the image (plus other content). The image on the page layout is inserted via a Beaver Builder (Power Pack) image module with the connector pointing to the PODS custom field (i.e. primary image). The image size is also specified in the module.
3. A Page is created with a Posts Content Grid module on it that pulls in the CPT. For the content of the grid post, the page layout defined in step 2 above is inserted by setting the content to custom and using [fl_builder_insert_layout] with the ID set to the Themer Layout of step 2.

All of the above works fine. The Content Grid is able to display the custom layout defined by the Themer singular page for each individual post in the content grid.

The Problem

For some time I’ve been fighting a serious performance problem on the content grid page of step 3. Loading the page could be extremely slow (as in > 6 minutes), or most of the time it results in an http 500 error or server too busy error.

I’ve been thinking that this was a CDN / Caching issue and have been trying to isolate it based on that. But at this point it doesn’t seem to be CDN/Caching related.

Replicating the Problem

In this case, most (but not all), of the images loaded to the PODS CPT are 1024 x 1024.

In Step 2 when the Image module is connected to the PODS custom field, a size is also specified for the image (see https://share.getcloudapp.com/nOuKPznW ). If the size selected matches one of the generated thumbnail sizes (e.g. 1024 or less), then the page performance seems to be fine.

However, if an image size is selected in the Themer layout that is larger, then the page performance tanks big time. I think this is because the image thumbnail for that size is not generated.

For example, on the Themer layout if I select a large image size of 1600 x 1600, and the image size actually uploaded to the CPT is 1024 x 1024, then WP will not generate that thumbnail size. So the Themer template is looking for a size 1600 x 1600 image for each of the uploaded images, but that thumbnail size isn’t available.

My theory is that if an image size isn’t found, then a search of the entire media folder & sub-folders is conducted to try and find it. And if not found, maybe the original uploaded image is used. That folder & file search takes a long time and it is repeated for every post in the grid.

Of course, if the thumbnail size does exist (e.g. 1024 x 1024) then the image is found right away and performance is fine.

Just a theory…

This seems to be PODS Themer related, but it could also be Beaver Themer, Beaver Builder, or even WordPress. I just haven’t noticed this behavior when using content grids with no PODS Themer involved, that’s why my first suspicion is some relationship to PODS Themer integration.

Let me know your thoughts, any questions or clarification you need, or if you need an environment set up to replicate the issue.

Thanks,

-Norm

The plugin seems to be running exceptionally slow on one of my installs:

Does anyone have any thoughts on how to troubleshoot what could be causing this?

I created a custom post tpe by pods. I also added a date field to the post. I like to sort the posts on this date field using the module Beaver Post content. I have added the date field name to the meta value key, but no sorting? Can someone help

Hello, I am looking for a code like this to function. The reason is because I want that in the search results of the site only the results of the pods that I created appear. But it is showing pages, articles and pods. I want only the results of the pods to appear. Someone to help me? thanks!

//Exclude pages from WordPress Search
if (!is_admin()) {
function wpb_search_filter($query) {
if ($query->is_search) {
$query->set(‘post_type’, ‘post’);
}
return $query;
}
add_filter(‘pre_get_posts’,’wpb_search_filter’);
}

For a long time we have been using Beaver Themer + Pods with conditional logic to control the visibility of rows, columns or modules, e.g. “show this row if field X is set” or “show this module if field X is not set”.

This seems to have stopped working recently.

Now, we’re having to do workarounds, such as creating a extra checkbox field and using “equals 1” in the conditional logic to control visibility, or “contains https://&#8221; for a URL field that should only be displayed if it has a value.

Not sure if it’s a Pods problem, a Themer problem, or a problem in this plugin. Happy to repost to BB or Pods if its not related to this plugin.

I’ve created a CPT with PODs that includes a repeateable ACT that I’ve linked via Panda ( Pods Table as Repeater Field )

From a data entry perspective, everything is working expected, but for the life of me, I can’t find anything that explains how I access the repeateable field(s), and am hoping someone here can give me a pointer …

One the page I’m trying to display on, all of the ‘single fields’ get displayed as:

<div>[wpbb post:pods_display field=’height’]

and that works fine … what I can’t figure out how to do is something like:

[each hourly_rates]
[wpbb post:pods_display field=’time_label’]
[/each]

Someone had pointed me to [wpbb-acf-repeater name=’hourly_rates’], but either I’m doing something wrong, -or- that is meant for use when you are using ACF *instead* of PODs …

I’m trying to avoid writing “yet another BB plugin” to do this, since I’m literally just trying to build a simple table, and want it so that someone else more artistically talented can fix the look without them having to muck around in PHP …

Is this doable, or do I really have to write more PHP? I know PODs does support it, I’m just not finding out to do it with Pods *through* BB …

Thanks for any pointers …

I noticed that “Pods Beaver Themer Add-On” hasn’t had an update in a couple of years. Is it not needed anymore? Or has it really just not needed an update?

My client noticed and I don’t have a good answer for them.

Hello,

I have a custom upload field that allows multiple uploads. I am using Beaver Builder and want to output the uploaded file URLs as separate hyperlinks and bullets.

I am trying to use Magic tags and testing a few things out

<ul>
[each upload_gpx_file]
 	<li><a href="{@upload_gpx_file._src}">{@upload_gpx_file._src}</a></li>
[/each]
</ul>

The above doesn’t seem to work, I found some of this on an old git.

[pods]<a href="{@upload_gpx_file._src}">{@upload_gpx_file._src}</a>[/pods]

The above works but it outputs one long result of two URLs and I can’t find a way to separate them as clickable and <li> bullets.

Any ideas?

Thank you.

We have created a pod category for these Beaver Builder layouts where an image of a logo is supposed to be displayed in the top left of the page. No matter what method we try to use to display the image, it won’t display. We have also tested this in a staging environment where all the plugins on the site have been disabled other then Beaver Builder and Pods plugins and the image still won’t display.

I’ve noticed an issue where image thumbnails are not being output correctly. In short, when I place a Pods template inside a Beaver Builder grid module, the images in the template are output using the full image and then scaled to the thumbnail size.

I’ve been discussing this issue on the Pods support page and have concluded that the issue most likely lies with Beaver Builder or this plugin.

Here’s a link to that discussion on the Pods support page – it has more information:

https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/pods-template-not-outputting-thumbnails-correctly/

Hello,

I have used this plugin for a couple of years but since a recent big update to the Pods plugin when I am working with custom post type templates in Beaver Themer or using the content grid module to create a loop of custom post types it’s finding loads of custom fields to add but none of the ones I need from the custom post types’ meta fields, all created with Pods.

I noticed pods has changed a lot visually in the custom fields area recently so maybe that’s connected?

My only workaround is to grab old shortcodes and manually type the field names in, which works.

It definitely worked fine a month or so ago but something fundamental seems to have changed.

Here’s a video demo

I’m using Beaver Builder, Pods 2.8.2 and Pods Beaver Themer Add On.

In posts I do see the field connectors, but on pages I don’t. To be more precise. On pages I do see field connectors, but not the ones for the CPT I created. On pages I only see page -> page and page -> user field connectors.

I would like be able to use the custom fields in both posts and pages. What is different in 2.8 vs the previous version where this was possible and what do I need to do to ge this behaviour back?

Hi,
We defined several new posts types using Pods, and are using ‘related fields’ to link between different types/items.
The related items are displayed using “Posts” module of Beaver Builder.
I want to display the number of related items (each type separately). For example – number of related videos, number of related publications etc.
How do I do it?
Thanks,
B

Hello, I’m trying to display unique posts modules within a themer layout. I’m currently doing this with a saved module shortcode WITHIN a pods field. This initially works great, BUT pagination is not working. I’ve tried all different pagination types (numeric, read more, etc) as well as different module types (UABB, Powerpack)

We have it set up this way because we have many “community” (parent) custom posts all on the same themer layout. Each of these communities needs to reference a group of “property” (child) custom posts. We can’t put the module directly into the themer layout because then the same one would show up on all communities. Each community post is unique. Does this make sense? I know there’s a lot going on here.

Is there a way to fix pagination on this? Is there a better way to accommodate this posts module within a themer layout?

You can see this in action at https://ideal-living.com/community/dogwoods-park/

Thanks so much for your help!

We are unable to connect Pods fields to icons for email and phone (in a Beaver Themer layout). We had no problem connecting the LinkedIn icon, but pods do not even show up as an option for the other two. The problem persisted using BB Icon Group, single icons by themselves and the current PowerPack icon group. We have also tried manually entering the shortcode for the Pod name but it was not successful.

Hi

I have been trying to link the home page button with a url pod from a certain post as I show in the picture below: https://ibb.co/9bj7yD8

The code for the pod is working because when I add it to a text editor, it shows properly, but for the button to return the value of the link I am not able to manage. Here is a SS of how the link is wrongly indexed on the bottom left corner: https://ibb.co/cxND0WZ

I have beaver themer installed which gives me some options, but none of them, allow me to identify which post the link comes from.

Any solutions?

My ideia is registering the link once in the post and then link it wherever I need in the website.

What do you advise?

Thank you for the help!

I’m using BB and Pods together. I’m running into a problem with my Pods template and shortcodes in BB.
In the BB HTML module I’m using this shortcode.
[pods name=”article” template=”3rd Party template” limit=”-1″] It works.
I want to change the orderby to post_date and order to desc.
When I add it to my shortcode like this…
[pods name=”article” template=”3rd Party template” limit=”-1″ orderby=”post_date” order=”desc”] the articles disappear. Thanks in advance!

I updated to 1.3.4, now data like this is not displaying the start_date data:

    [wpbb-if post:pods_display field='start_date']
        <span class='calendar-start-date'>
            [wpbb post:pods_display field='start_date']
        </span>
    [/wpbb-if]

If I remove the wpbb-if logic, the data is displayed. I used “WP Rollback” to roll back to 1.3.3 and it fixed the issue.

Hi

what is the best field type to enter a YouTube or Vimeo video link and have it display as a video on the custom post type page?

Normally WordPress converts these links and displays the actual video

In the example provided I have a Pods custom post type of “Foodstall” and a text field to allow the stall holder to show a video.

I have created an optional plain text field for a CPT. I have set a default value for the field and linked the field to a module in a Beaver Themer Singular layout for that CPT.

The idea is that, if the field is left empty, then the default value for the field will be displayed. Otherwise, the value entered by the content author should be displayed.

Unfortunately, when the field is left empty, nothing is displayed.

Is there a way to resolve this?

Hi,

I created a pods ‘book’ and I’m trying to display books filtered by the field ‘subject,’ which is type relationship, custom defined list.

Here’s what my pod looks like:

https://kidonthetown.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Screen-Shot-2020-08-17-at-10.59.52-AM.png

In the Posts> Content tab, when I select ‘Pods Relationship for the Query source, I only get the option ‘Settings/Logged in’ and ‘No Fields Found’ for “settings, author, user…”

https://kidonthetown.com/screen-shot-2020-08-17-at-10-58-56-am/

Please let me know how can I filter the posts module by subject.

Thanks,

Brittney

Here’s an example where the add-on throws an error that no custom fields were detected on this page.

I am adding a posts module to a standard page to display a custom post type.

Instead of using any of the styles I am using the custom option so I can customize the output.

In this mode it doesn’t seem to see that I’m not getting custom fields from the current page, but the loop of posts I have connected in the query part of the posts module.

I’m using a custom post type where I can’t edit the individual posts as they don’t exist so I’m stuck as to which shortcode starting with [wpbb site:pods_ to use.

Do you have a doc page with all of the connection shortcodes listed out so people can refer to that and copy and paste if they are brave enough? That’s what I would do in this situation when the plugin things I’m trying to get fields from the current page rather than the loop I am working on.

Hi,

I have a problem with the URL field and it appeared with the latest PODS update. I have Beaver Builder in the site. I can identify the problem being due to the latest PODS update. I tried asking them but they tell it might be related to this plugin.

See for example here:
https://kotkamaritimecentre.fi/fi/koulutus/basic-safety-training-hatatilanteiden-peruskoulutus-stcw-a-vi-1-2/

Button in the bottom: Ilmoittaudu koulutukseen

The link takes back to the same page although in the course itself the link is
https://www.ilmarix.fi/tietoverkko/isoilmari2.nsf/ilmoall?openform&s=n&id=B605B226EFE8DCD1C225856C00404B1C

Any idea how to fix this?

Best,
Riitta

Hi, I have a question about pulling through an additional image on a product. I am using this shortcode [wpbb post:pods_display field=’additional_featured_image’ size=”large” display=”tag” linked=”yes”] but it is pulling through the URL. What should I be using to pull the actual image? THANKS in advance

Hi Bernhard,

Is the current version still up-to-date with both the latest Themer and WordPress?

Kind Regards,

Peter

Hello ??
I use PODS with beaver builder and i’m trying to output a category custom field to a product page.

I use this magic tag: {@product_cat.tekst_i_banner}
I does come out, but it brings out ALL of the data, from ALL of the categories the product is attached to. I only want it to show the field from the parent category and not the child. Is this possible with magic tags alone?

Hello,

I am using Beaver Builder and the Pods Themer Ad on.

I have the events pulling in using the Posts Module. I’ve created a custom post type for featured events and I’d like to add a WP_Query that only shows upcoming events. Does anyone have any solutions for this or has done something similar?

Thanks!
